DeMille Says He'll Quit Rather Than Pay $1 Fee Los Angeles, Jan. 26 (IP) Cecil B. De Mille has announced that, despite the court's ruling, he will not pay a $1 assessment levied by the American Federation of Radio Artists although it probably will mean that he will not be able to appear with his weekly Monday night radio show. Mr. De Mille's attorney said an appeal would be made from a Superior Court ruling which held that the union was within its rights in suspending the producer.

Mr. De Mille opposed the assessment which had been levied during the November political campaign to fight a proposed legislative amendment providing that employment should not depend upon union membership. Week's Illness Is Fatal To Mother of Actress Santa Monica, Jan. 26. Mrs.

BEETLE Gannett Empire State Bureau Albany, Jan. 26 If the senators and assemblymen do very much 'playing to the galleries" they're probably getting cheated. We made a quick survey of the galleries at a night session and on the basis of early returns with several districts missing, there are only three persons in every 16 who attend just because they're plain everyday taxpayers who want to see how the state is run. The others are state employes, friends of state employes, relatives of the legislators, girl friends of page boys, or secretaries of senators. The last don't consider attending a part of their jobs; two of them told us frankly they dropped in "to kill time." But now for the three real honest-to-goodness 16-carat citi-ens.

We snagged them all in the Senate. One was an Albany building contractor (you know how the building contracting business is these days; it's not Hard to find Kpare time); a second was a woman store clerk (now retired) who sings in an Albany chorus Monday nights and got the habit of attending the Senate after rehearsals, principally to gaze on handsome Senator Hanley (imagine her delight when he became lieutenant governor; now she sits on the edge of the seat). The third was a bright-eyed, black-haired Albany boy who is going to tell his classmates in No 2 school about it all. (He wanted to know how old you have to be to be a page boy.) Visited Two Dozen One of the state employes, a mortgage tax examiner, was a regular connoisseur. He's been to a couple of dozen state legislatures; prefers the upper houses because they're easier to understand thinks the New York Senate is less pretentious than Massachusetts His favorite is Nevada; says it meets in a chamber about the size of the New York Senate cloak room and is as chummy as a family party.

The most bored spectator was the page boy's girl friend, a Water- vliet Arsenal defense worker, who only came because her boy friend wanted her to and who em broidered a table-runner through out the evening. "I do a lot of very nice embroidery," she said Found the Senate didn't interfere with it as much as she'd feared. An audit clerk and a state unem ployment office secretary "took in the Assembly." Sometimes they go to the movies instead, but then the Legislature is a ehange. A Court of Appeals librarian pre ferred the Senate because "it's more last night she apparently "went slumming," for we caught her in the Assembly. 'More Life In Assembly Two tax examiners (the men who look over your state income tax blanks) gave the technical advice that the loudspeaking system worked better in the Senate.

Both thought the Assembly had "more life" though. "Ives and Steingut are okay; the rest don't know what it's all about," summarized one. In general, the Senate and Assembly had about the same box-office appeal, with the patrons selecting on the basis of whether they preferred a dull show you could understand to an exciting one you couldn't. The total "house" Monday was about 150 all docile souls who gave little or no trouble to the half-dozen clerks paid to shepherd them. "We keep them from putting their coats on the rails," said James Hickman, ex-Rochester grocer and Assembly aide.

"A few years ago some one dropped a typewriter over, and almost hit the speaker," added Herman Engle, one-time Croton reservoir superintendent, and Assembly aide. Korda Stricken, Faints; Is Rushed to Hospital Hollywood. Jan. 26 (T) Alexander Korda, 51-year-old film' director and husband of Film Actress Merle Oberon, fainted while eating in a restaurant last night and was rushed to a Santa Monica hospital. Dr.

Maynard Brandsma, who was in the restaurant at the time, attended Mr. Korda. The physician told reporters he believed the film director suffered an attack of acute indigestion. Sedatives were administered at the hospital and later Mr. Korda's condition was described as satisfactory.

Van Wie wasn't mad at anybody, the police, the war plant guard who recognized him and turned him in the first day he reported for work, or his wives, the number of which he couldn't remember. He thought there probably were eight of them. Police thought there were 11. Van Wie said he would recognize all of them, but not their children. He couldn't be a father, he said.

"I'm guilty," he "I'll take what's coming to me. I always wanted a home. I was looking for contentment. He was held for authorities in San Francisco where he climaxed his marital marathon with three weddings in the last year. Capt.

Bernard McDonald of the San Francisco police said he didn't want him unless one of his jeal ous wives wished to sidetrack the marrying trolley man by putting up the money to return him for trial as a bigamist. If Van Wie is convicted, they'll get their money back, McDonald said, but if they don't it'll be love's lucre lost. Mrs. Juliana Voloshin Van Wie, who filed suit for divorce against the ex-lion tamer at Inglewood, and tipped off several of his other wives that he was not their sole mate, indicated thai she wasn't interested. "There was something about him that made you do things you didn't want to do, but I never want to see him again," Mrs.

Voloshin Van Wie said. Van Wie said she was sort of funny about money, "She gave 10 per cent of my money to the church. She hid the rest and told me I didn't have any. Life with her was unbearable." Van Wie, Interviewed in his jail cell, tried hard to remember just whom he had married and whom he hadn't. To the best of his memory he promised to live, honor and cherish eight.

FLEA MARKET Yonkers, Jan. 26 (INS) Live fleas are worth 3 cents each in Yonkers today and therein lies the reason why the youngsters, of that community have taken a sudden and almost zealous interest in delous-ing any and all dogs in sight. It no longer is a labor of love, it's a matter of cold cash. The market for fleas was established by Dr. J.

H. Standen, biochemist for the B. F. Goodrich Co. who is doing experimental research -work in flea control.

He had been obtaining them from his own dog, but the supply gave out. Dr. Standen published instructions how to trap the pests with ether, but warned the- boys to be careful because "dead fleas don't pay off."
